“…This weevil, although closely resembling H. postica, was identified as H. brunneipennis, the so-called Egyptian alfalfa weevil (97,98). Rather clear evidence indicates that the founders of this population were directly im ported into the Yuma Valley as aestivating adults on palm trees brought from Eg ypt (68). Hypera brunneipennis and H. postica are so closely re lated that their larval stages cannot be distinguished (3) and the adults differ only in the average size or dimensions of certain structures.…”

“…Once larvae are mature, they pupate and form small, silk cocoons spun near the base of the alfalfa plant. Adults have been shown to estivate, or enter into dormancy, in the summer months, leaving alfalfa fields to hide under plant litter or tree bark in field edges (Reynolds et al, 1955;Prokopy et al, 1967;Blickenstaff et al, 1972).…”
